Chapter 494: Sulfuric acid paper pressed on the cost line

The Fan family and their children were very right, and they also saw the new machinery very thoroughly, and prepared for the worst.

But what he could never have imagined was that Zhu Shun's industrialized paper factory did not really work with steam machinery.

Rather, it is sulfuric acid in the chemical system.

Because of the presence of sulfuric acid, a chemical product, paper mills almost eliminate the process of whitening in the process of producing snowflake paper.

The Fan family saw that the Di Bao Shang Jia did not speak for a long time, because the impetuousness brought about by the respect of the Jin Shang's children gradually receded, and began to think about this matter calmly.

After he said two cents and eight cents of silver, Di Bao Shang Jia said that the people of the industrial Hou Zhu Shun had come to negotiate the price of snowflake paper, indicating that the name of the snowflake paper was very good, and the price of silver was lower than that of two cents and eight cents of silver.

But when he said the price of two and a half cents of silver, Di Bao Shangjia still didn't speak for a long time.

In other words, the price given by the industrial Hou Zhu Shun was less than two and a half cents of silver, which made the Fan family feel a little more uneasy.

The Fan family did not continue to say the new price of silver, but asked: "May I ask Uncle Shi, what is the price of silver given by Zhu Shun, the industrial marquis." ”

Di Bao Shang Jia did not hide his intentions, now the Fan family and the industrial marquis want to get a large amount of paper from their hands, as long as he waits for the price to sell, he can buy more mulberry paper at a lower price.

Di Bao merchant Jia was easy to deal with the left and right sources, and directly quoted a lower price of silver, testing the bottom line of the Fan family: "One cent, six cents of silver, one knife." ”

When the Fan family heard this price, they couldn't help but have a trace of contempt for the industrial Hou Zhu Shun, who had superb party fighting skills, but was very naïve in doing business.

This one-cent and six-cent price of silver is just on the cost line of the Fan family, and it must also be the cost line of the paper workshop in the hands of the industrial Hou Zhu Shun.

Using the method of consuming silver to suppress other merchants is really an extremely inferior method.

Businessmen seek profits, and no old businessman will use such means to harm others and benefit himself.

In this way, not only will you not be able to make money, but it is likely to bring great losses to the entire industry, attracting the hostility of other merchants who also do this kind of business.

The Fan family did not quote a lower price of silver, and the price of one cent and six cents of silver was already pressed on the cost line of the Fan family's paper workshop, and it was no longer profitable.

If you press down the low price of silver, you will lose money, and the Fan family is not a fool, nor is it to suppress the Donglin Party who doesn't care about anything in order to suppress the industrial Hou Zhushun.

He arched his hand and turned away.

I believe that it won't be long before the Di Bao Chamber of Commerce begs him in turn, after all, the mulberry paper that Di Bao Shang Jia needs is not one knife or two, but thousands of knives and tens of thousands of knives.

Because of the whitening process, as long as the mulberry paper in the industrial Hou Zhushun workshop wants to be produced, it will take at least a few months.

Di Bao Shang Jia only saw the low price of silver, but forgot a crucial issue.

Every few days, the imperial court would post the newspapers, and he needed to copy and engrave them as soon as possible and deliver them to the bureaucrats and gentry on time.

After all, he is not the only newspaper merchant in the capital, as long as he is a little slower and cannot deliver the newspaper to the hands of the bureaucrats and squires in time, his business will be slowly encroached upon by other small newspaper merchants.

At that time, the newspaper merchant who did not have mulberry paper in his hand would naturally come to him, the son of the Fan family who had mastered all the papermaking workshops in the capital, and it was not the newspaper merchant Jia who was waiting to be sold at the price, but him.

Not to mention the price of three cents of silver and a knife, even if it is sold for three and a half cents of silver, the newspaper merchant Jia also pinched his nose and recognized this price of silver.

All the papermaking workshops in the capital are in the hands of the Fan family, except for him, no merchant can provide him with so much mulberry paper in a short time, and what kind of newspaper can be sold without mulberry paper.

With a decision in his heart, the Fan family will not be here to fight with him, and they will rush to the resumption of the society.

The Fushe Society was formed by the merger of more than a dozen literary societies such as Zhexi Wenshe, Jiangbei Nanshe, and Zhongzhou Duanshe, and has a great influence among the people, and can be said to be the most influential literary society among the people.

Solve the problem of Di Bao Shangjia, as long as you reach some ulterior deals with the leader of the retest, the matter of mastering the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty will be completed.

As he walked down the chessboard street, he suddenly saw a large number of literati gathered in front of a shop, scrambling to buy something.

Those soldiers dressed in silk stood by with disdain on their faces, feeling that the scene in front of them was insulting and ashamed.

Most of the scholars gathered in front of the shop were dressed in cloth clothes, and even long shirts with many patches sewn.

The Fan family was not the slightest bit strange, and walked past the door of the store with a calm face, which he had seen a lot.

It should be a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River who wrote a new word or a new poem, which made the capital appear Luoyang paper expensive scene.

After all, for these readers, those poems and songs that are not suitable for eating and drinking are priceless.

It is indeed a priceless treasure, and these disease-free moaning poems and songs are very likely to appear in the Ming Jing Department of the imperial examination, and they are bought in advance to familiarize themselves with the reading and memorization to improve their chances of winning the examination.

In the eyes of readers, these poems and songs are only one of the literary talents, but in the eyes of Fan Jiazhuang's eldest son, they should be one of the means used by the Donglin Party to collect money.

Who's best business in the world is a woman's business, and the other is a scholar's business.

There is only one answer to the best business for scholars, as long as it is related to the imperial examination, it is definitely a million profits.

The newly written poems and songs of Jiangnan celebrities, if they are just brilliant poems, will not make readers so competitive.

But when the poems and songs are stained with the word imperial examination, the meaning is different.

Many people are gray-haired and can't even get into a show, but they are still studying desperately like crazy, just for one of them.

It can be seen that these scholars are paranoid about the imperial examination, even if it is a little more possible, these scholars do not hesitate to borrow money to buy poems and songs that may be included in the imperial examination.

The vision of the Fan family is not profound, and before he has entered the official career, he can clearly see the Donglin Party's extremely obscure means of accumulating wealth.

It is no wonder that the eldest son of the other four Jin merchants respects him so much, and it is no wonder that he has become the leader of the maritime trade route, which is equivalent to the leader of the younger generation of the five major gold merchants who used to be the eight Jin merchants and are now the five major gold merchants.

But this time he looked away, those are not the poems and songs of Jiangnan celebrities, but snowflake paper.

A snowflake paper of six cents of silver and a knife.

It just pressed on the cost line of Fan's paper workshop.
